I would rather that, say, my home address and phone # not be plastered in a public database in the first place. If someone did post this or other harmful material about myself should still be possible to go to whoever manages the site and have them track down who did it, just as, say, Yahoo can track down who sends malicious emails, as happened to me. You could still have the person's name available which would enable tracking. Probably this alone could lead to a persistent party finding out their address or other info., but would at least require more steps and work and not just be there in WHOIS for sale, for instance.

Using your logic we would all be wearing hoods or a chador when walking
down the street.

Don't you think you might have less of a problem with your privacy being
invaded if you were able to readily discover who was doing the invading?
Just the opposite of what you propose.

Suppose making such info. so public led to a stalking situation, which led
to some personal harm.  Would the party who is harmed (from having their
personal info. made so public) have any legal redress against ICAAN, the
registration company, WHOIS or any other party?  Just wondering.
